The latest White House shooter has been named. Michael Marx. Seems well-named.
The authorities seem to be slow-rolling information about this person, only telling us he is 45 and has a Texas drivers license. I'm sure that means he's totally not a leftwing murder cultist.
Professional Homosexual Tim Miller doggedly defends Nazis and Islamists because he's such a principled conservative.
Justin @JustR_02Democrats are currently arguing about whether people who said America deserved 9/11 (Piker), has a Nazi tattoo (Platner), and someone who says he's sad the Ayatollah was killed (El-Sayed) should be welcomed in their "big tent.
Tim Miller and Co supposedly left the GOP bc of principles.
Tucker Carlson and William Kristol, Together Again? It's only a matter of time.
And money. Don't forget the money. Because the grifters all like money. A lot. Like strangely a lot.
Hans Mahncke @HansMahnckeThe assistant district attorney who filed completely fabricated AI material in a murder case and then lied about it has been suspended by the Georgia Supreme Court for six months. That seems lenient given the dishonesty involved, and the fact that it went undetected for so long.
I say "of course" because the Democrat Party has dictated that black people are almost entirely immune from law or professional requirements and boy oh boy, is that policy working out for everyone with zero negative consequences!
Related: Three DC dirty police officials could possibly be fired for faking the city's crime data. But you know, they won't be.
The possible terminations were reported Tuesday by The Washington Post, citing unnamed sources.
The Justice Department, Republicans in Congress and the District of Columbia have been looking into the allegations.
The city's Metropolitan Police Department's disciplinary process will give any officials accused of misconduct the opportunity to defend themselves. The process can take years and involve arbitration.
A spokesperson for the department said an assistant chief and a district commander were placed on administrative leave, though he didn't disclose the reasons. The third officer reportedly facing termination, also a district commander, is already on administrative leave and was previously the subject of an investigation related to crime statistics, according to the Post.
Cops committing crimes is perfectly acceptable if it helps us sell the Democrat Socialist's Decarceration Agenda.
News report here. These cops were deliberately misreporting shootings as simple assaults and robberies and break-ins as "trespassing" because people don't get alarmed about increases in those categories.
Update: I was just on Instagram for Cafe stuff and I found this latest element of the "Bring the left and fake-right extremes together" op.
hidden.place.in hidden.place.in's profile picture hidden.place.in 8h They told you the culture war is organic--real disagreements between real people with real passions. Nothing to see here.But what if JD Vance and Erika Kirk are siblings, created by the CIA to deceive and divide us?
Here's what the mainstream media, the political pundits, and the gatekeepers don't want you to understand:
✅ "Same playbook, different faces." You've seen this before. Two people on opposite sides of the political aisle, arguing passionately, generating clicks, outrage, and donations. But what if they're not enemies? What if they're coworkers? The intelligence community has a long history of manufacturing opposition to control the Overton window. Left vs. Right is the oldest trick in the book.
✅ "Follow the connections." Both rose to prominence suspiciously fast. Both say exactly what their respective bases want to hear. Both never cross certain lines that would actually threaten the system. And both refuse to debate each other in any unscripted, uncontrolled environment. When two "enemies" won't meet face to face without handlers, you have to ask: what are they hiding?
✅ "Divide and conquer works when you don't know you're being divided." You think you chose your side. You think your anger is authentic. But what if every talking point, every controversy, every "outrageous statement" was workshopped in a Langley conference room? The goal isn't to win the argument--it's to make sure you're always arguing.
💬 Comment "SIBLINGS" and I'll send you the full breakdown--the connections, the timelines, the intelligence community's history of creating fake opposition, and why they need you to stay angry at each other.
I follow zero political accounts on Instagram so this was definitely pushed to me courtesy of an op. There was probably a money payment to spread this absurd post.
Know the op when you see it.

Nielsen Ratings Company Reveals That Not a Single Disney Sequel Is in the Top Ten of Most Viewed Star Wars Movies or TV Shows
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Nielsen is spinning this as if it's good for Star Wars that the original, from over 40 years ago, remains the absolute ratings champ among movies, and the disastrous Disney "saga" sequels aren't even in the top ten.
WDW_Pro discussed this disclosure. "Andor" is number one, but mostly because it has 18 episodes over two seasons -- so there is something like 12 hours of Andor to watch, as opposed to two hours of Star Wars: A New Hope.
And these ratings were complied while the show was running in 2025. Tales of the Underworld was also fresh in 2025.
One Disney movie, Rogue One, made the top ten. None of the Daisy Ridley Force is Female saga sequels.
Further proof that the Disney sequels are absolute failures: When Disney's Star Wars Land was being designed, the imagineers were planning it to heavily reference original movies. But mid-design, Kaffeine Kennedy called them and ordered them to abandon all references to the original movies and make it firmly set in the Kaffeine Kennedy era, with "her" characters. She femspained that she wasn't interested in appeasing the 50+ year old fans who actually like Star Wars, but the Modern, Diverse Audience she was sure would celebrate her Stunning and Brave retcon of Star Wars into yet another female-centric Disney Princess Brand.
It did not work. Galaxy's Edge has been a perennial disappointment as far as attendance.
So now that Kaffeine Kennedy is finally out and her skinny talons have been pulled away from the corpse of Star Wars, suddenly Star Wars land is set in the Rebellion Era and actors who are supposed to look like Han, Luke, and Leia are roaming the park.
Unfortunately, it's Disney, so this was another huge embarrassing cringe failure.

Coconut Kamala Harris Endorses Communist Revolutionary and Epic Incompetent Karen Bass for LA Mayor; Claims Bass Has Reduced Crime and Homelessness
—Disinformation Expert Ace
What? Did you say she reduced crime and homelessness?
This is the same nonsense they claimed with Biden. Crime exploded under Biden, but it cannot remain at all-time record levels year after year, so some years it will "decline," but from a historically elevated high, to another historically elevated high (but not a record high).
And then they said: Biden reduced crime, bigots. Look it up. DC murders fell 8%.
Yes down from historic murder levels not seen since the 80s -- yes, it fell off slightly from that grim bloody pace.
And so Coconut Kamala now credits Bass with a "two year decline" in homelessness. Which, by the way, is pure bullshit in itself.
Bass, a Democrat, is facing a challenge from Spencer Pratt, a Republican reality television star, as well as several other candidates from her own party. Harris announced her support for Bass on Monday. Polls show Bass with less than the required 50 percent support to avoid a runoff, with a significant portion of the electorate remaining undecided, so Harris' endorsement could carry weight among undecided Democrats.Harris praised Bass as the "leader Los Angeles needs right now," touting a decline in homelessness and crime.
"Mayor Karen Bass is the leader Los Angeles needs right now. She has done what so many said couldn't be done -- the first ever two-year decline in homelessness, reducing crime to levels this city hasn't seen since the 1960s, and refusing to back down when the federal government came after our neighbors," Harris said in a statement. "She has my full support for re-election."
Pratt is climbing in the polls. Adam Carolla said of him something like: "Yes, he's inexperienced, inexperienced at destroying Los Angeles, and I'll pick that inexperience over Karen Bass's tremendous experience at destroying Los Angeles."
He's now at 11%, compared to Bass -- the serving mayor, remember -- at 26%.
I'm glad Coconut Kamala endorsed Bass because the other alternative is a communist City Council retard named Nithya Raman who routinely blames the widespread theft of catalytic converters on auto companies for deliberately making them "too easy to steal." LA thieves are now drilling into people's gas tanks to steal their gas and I think I read she also blamed auto companies for not armoring their gas tanks.
Any excuse she needs to avoiding blaming crime on, erm, criminals.
Nithya Raman is at 9%. 40% are undecided.
I like Coconut Kamala's endorsement because I want Bass to remain in the race. I fear that if she drops out, the insane communist Nithya Raman will win.
I do not believe Bass has much of a chance to win. She is so hopelessly incompetent that even Democrats realize it. An incumbent Democrat who can only attract a quarter of the vote in LA is a disaster, obviously.
Pratt claims that when you run as a "Democratic Socialist," as the retarded communist Nithya Raman is doing, you are required to sign a kind of loyalty oath "contract" with the DSA promising to "co-govern" with the DSA itself.
Below, some ads from the former reality TV star. I don't believe the last ad is his, just an AI thing a supporter cooked up.

Minnesota Fraud Investigator and Fomer State Trooper: Senior Tim Walz Officials Ordered Me to Illegally Bury Evidence of Rampant "Childcare" Fraud
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Just forget what you leared about childcare fraud, they told him.
A former state trooper who ran fraud investigations inside Minnesota's Department of Human Services told state lawmakers Tuesday that senior officials ordered him to delete findings, harassed his unit, and tried to shut down probes into what he now calls an organized criminal enterprise looting the state's public-benefit system. His testimony landed the same day federal agents raided more than 20 businesses in Minneapolis as part of a widening crackdown on suspected fraud in publicly funded childcare and nutrition programs.Jay Swanson, who led a DHS fraud investigations unit from 2014 to 2018, appeared before the Minnesota House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee with a blunt account of institutional failure. He described a pattern in which investigators flagged large-scale fraud in the Child Care Assistance Program, only to be met with hostility from the very officials who should have acted on the evidence.
...
Swanson told the committee that his unit's work quickly put it on a collision course with DHS leadership. As the Daily Mail reported, Swanson said a senior DHS official confronted him directly over a document his team had prepared, and demanded that portions of it be removed.
"I soon had a senior DHS official in my office, angry, red-faced, and almost yelling. The senior DHS official told me to delete a number of paragraphs of the document. I then advised this official that I believed what they were telling me to do was illegal."
Swanson did not name the official in the quoted testimony. But he made clear the pressure was not an isolated incident. He described a broader campaign against his investigators that went beyond bureaucratic friction.
...
The former investigator also offered a broader assessment of what his team had uncovered, framing it as the beginning of something far larger than a few bad actors gaming a single program.
"As I look back with the benefit of 2020 hindsight, I realized that what our team saw was the early stages of a somewhat loosely organized criminal enterprise beginning to pillage Minnesota's public benefit system."One of Swanson's most striking claims concerned how widely known Minnesota's vulnerability had become. He told lawmakers that suspects his unit investigated said they had first learned about the fraud opportunity while still living abroad.
As the New York Post reported, Swanson said investigators found it was common knowledge in Somali refugee camps in Kenya that Minnesota was the place to go.
"They had heard you could run the scam in a number of different states, but it was easiest, and you could make the most money doing it in Minnesota."
That testimony aligns with separate sworn claims from another former DHS investigator, Scott Dexter. As Just the News reported, Dexter said his unit found evidence of large-scale fraud in the Child Care Assistance Program involving Somali-run daycare centers, but that investigations were narrowed or converted from law-enforcement cases to internal administrative matters because of political pressure and accusations of bias.
And we haven't even begun to dig into the greatest Fraud State in the world, California. A 2020 report warned Newsom in no uncertain terms that the state was left wide-open to hospice fraud, and Newsom did nothing, because, of course, the Party of Plunder exists solely to plunder and pillage from the hardworking normies.

Woke Reich Lefties Ian Carroll, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, and Tuq'r Qarlson Join Coordinated Op to Merge the Far Left with the Woke Right
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Their new op is decrying the artificial schism between communists and "the right" -- by which they mean national socialists -- and calling for communists and "the right" to merge and defeat the "real enemies," who are capitalists, normies, Christian Zionists, and, obviously, Jews.
This has been the op for two years. It is now so undeniable they're no longer denying it. It's now their open political ambition.
The far left knows it cannot command a majority. After trying, and failing, to take over the conservative movement through psyops and subterfuge -- good old communist subversion, inversion, and demorailzation -- the Woke Reich now knows there is no path to power in the GOP or conservative movement.
So they've decided to unite. Or, rather: they're now announcing their plan they've always been set on, uniting the most disgusting elements of the left and the pseudoright.
Cavernous Nostrils called for "fixing the fracture" between the left and "right," and Nazi fan Ian Carroll immediately jumped on board. (Well, actually, this had been gamed out behind the scenes. They're trying to make the new op appear "organic.")
Gal Sharpton was always on the left. She briefly pretended to "convert" to the right when she realized that a black female "right wing" grifter could make much, much more money than a been-there, done-than black female left-wing grifter.
The same logic explains why full-left liberals like David French continue pretending they're "on the right." The money is better pretending to be on the right while agreeing with every single policy imperative of the far left.
And now Gal Sharpton's campaigning for rightists (or people who falsely believe they're on the right) to join her in uniting with the left:
You and Cavernous Nostrils are the most diabolical part of the parties, Nazi John Waters.
Green Beret Nap Time @GBNT1952Have you noticed how the Halal Right has shifted its messaging to push "coming together" with the left? In this clip they are talking about a new party.
There won't be a new party. They are all full blown leftists and are uniting with the left and our enemies.
Candace said it yesterday. So did the gay pizza delivery guy.
Nick Fuentes has been saying it for a while.
Shawn [Ryan] glizzed fat Cenk and literally didn't disagree with him once on his show because he's now also a gay race communist.
If you don't see the op it's because you don't want to see it.
"Glizzed"? I've heard "glazed." I guess "glizzed" is the more sexually suggestive version of "glazed." I will use that.

Supreme Court Grants Motion to Immediately Finalize Gerrymander Decision, Allowing Lousiana to Implement It Now
—Disinformation Expert Ace
I guess there's some period of time that usually passes after a decision is announced until it is considered implementable law -- thirty two days before it is "reported" to the lower court.
But this is just a general practice, not a firm rule. The Court has adjusted this clock before when justice demanded it.
The Supreme Court granted Louisiana's motion to speed up that clock and finalize the decision immediately.
The Supreme Court on Monday night granted a request to immediately finalize its opinion in Louisiana v. Callais, in which it struck down that state's congressional map, to allow Louisiana to draw a new map in time for the 2026 elections. That map is expected to favor Republicans, who currently hold four of the state's six seats in the U.S. House of Representatives but could pick up one or even two more under a revised map.
Was it justified to speed up the clock? Yes, for two reasons.
1, the racially discriminatory maps are unconstitutional right now. Not in two years, right now. The citizens of Louisiana are living under racist congressional maps right now. And what's the left's favorite propaganda slogan...? "Justice delayed is justice denied."
2, we now have almost complete confirmation of the rumor that Obama hack Kagan deliberately dragged her heels on submitting her dissent not because she needed seven months to perfectly craft it, but specifically to avoid the ruling taking effect a half year ago, giving southern states plenty of time to adjust without having to scramble right before voting began.
Because it's now revealed that the Supreme Court "conferenced" the case seven months ago -- meaning they debated and voted on the decision.
But Kagan needed Moar Time to craft her perfect dissent.

The Morning Rant
—CBD
When supposedly conservative organizations reach a certain size, they begin that sad journey into wishy-washy bullsh*t language, so as not to attract the attention of the legal departments of their competition, or the libel attorneys working for the Democrat opposition.
Of course there is a different interpretation, and that is they are protecting their carefully cultivated access to the movers and shakers of the Corporate GOP apparatus, and the excellent cocktail parties they throw with the superb passed hors d'œuvres (especially the scallop with bacon!) and top-shelf bourbon.
Why else would The Federalist bury the obvious lead until the penultimate paragraph? They are minimizing the glaringly obvious conclusion that the Democrat talking points about lack of access to citizenship documents being a horror on par with genocide and puppy rape are absolute unmitigated lies, and the real issue is that the reason so many of their voters can't prove they are citizens is BECAUSE THEY AREN'T!
WaPo Admits Many Democrat Voters Can't Prove They're Citizens
Ayres and Slaughter estimate that Democrats are 13 percentage points “less likely than Republicans to hold qualifying registration documents” in New Mexico. And while Ayres and Slaughter estimate the passage of the SAVE America Act would only have “modest” consequences for the midterms because those currently registered to vote would be “unaffected,” “as more people would need to register after moving, changing their names or reaching voting age, this document shortfall could flip New Mexico to an electorate where Republicans have a 3.3-percentage-point advantage.”
They are buying into the nonsense that poor people and people of color and non-binary trans-women and downtrodden housewives simply can't get the vital documents to prove they are citizens. No...not "buying into," but purposefully obfuscating so their donors in the GOPe don't get too frustrated by the threats to their labor force...wetbacks and non-citizen guest workers, many of whom vote.
The correct headline should read:
WaPo Admits Many Democrat Voters Are Not Citizens
Everybody with a pulse and a few functioning neurons knows that's the case, but Conservative Inc. can't seem to admit it.
Rushing out articles debunking the Democrat lies about the difficulty of access to basic documentation is allowing the Democrat/Progressive cabal to control the narrative. The issue is not documentation access...it is that illegals are voting.
That's it. Nothing else matters.

The Morning Report — 5/ 5/26
—J.J. Sefton
Good morning kids. Lots of ground to cover today so let's dive right in. Well despite the repeated attempts on our President's life most recently less than couple weeks ago this still happened yesterday:
Gunshots were fired near the White House complex and the Washington Monument Monday, prompting the Secret Service to lock down nearby locations.United States Secret Service confirmed that law enforcement shot one individual at 15th Street and Independence Avenue during the incident, and a bystander was struck; both are alive, authorities confirmed at a press briefing Monday. Agents reportedly engaged in a heated confrontation with an armed man near the White House and National Mall before President Donald Trump’s event in the East Room of the White House began, RealClearPolitics national correspondent Susan Crabtree first reported... The suspect is currently in custody and no Secret Service agents were harmed. He is reportedly recovering from his gunshot wounds at George Washington Hospital, and Secret Service agents recovered his firearm.
You may well ask, given the fact that President Trump and his entire cabinet and really all of us who support and voted for him have a big fat (literal, not Mark Kelly imaginary) target painted on them, how could something like this happen, yet again?! Well how about this for starters?
Secret Service Agent Arrested for Alleged Public Masturbation in Miami. John Spillman, age 33, had been in Miami to work exterior security for President Donald Trump’s appearance at the PGA Tour’s Cadillac Championship on Sunday, per CNBC: The incident involving Spillman occurred at the DoubleTree by Hilton Miami Airport & Convention Center on Sunday night, according to WSVN-7 News Miami, which cited an arrest report by the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Well, that's bad enough but if we want to talk about root causes, let's get down to brass tacks:
Joe Biden, the last Democrat to occupy the White House, said it was “time to put Trump in the bull’s-eye.” Five days later, Thomas Matthew Crooks evaded the Secret Service and fired seven shots, one wounding candidate Trump in the ear. Jump ahead to April 25, 2026.
By all indications, Joe Biden issued no post after Cole Thomas Allen aimed to assassinate Trump. Take Obama’s post as another admission that, as David Samuels acknowledged in “The Obama Factor” in 2023, the hapless Biden was a puppet and the “fictional character” created in Dreams from My Father was still running the country and “responsible for the disaster that we are living through now.”
For all but the willfully blind, leading Democrats are now all-in on political violence. Obama serves as a pro-bono attorney for assassins like Cole Thomas Allen and jihadists like Nidal Hasan. The mass murderer was sentenced to death in 2013 but remains alive at this writing.
And that's how someone like Spillman gets to spill his seed while on duty. But the institutional rot predates even Obama/Biden. As horrendous as this creep may be, how is it that a known and avowed communist like John Brennan was able to become a CIA agent let alone was able to rise to become its director? I will never understand that one.
Elsewhere, and in a not necessarily unrelated story, President Trump is disrupting and dismantling the global order. With all eyes still on Iran, there are still rumblings about potential moves to at long last liberate the tropical island gulag 90 miles to the south of Florida.
Trump Goes All In On Regime Change In Cuba: The Trump administration just slammed the door on an effort by Cuba’s communist government to secure an economic lifeline while appearing to embrace reform. A May 1 executive order expands and sharpens longstanding American sanctions on Cuba, and appears to deliberately target a recent gesture at partially opening the Cuban economy. “All property and interests in property that are in the United States,” the order says, are barred from operating “in the energy, defense and related materiel, metals and mining, financial services, or security sector of the Cuban economy, or any other sector of the Cuban economy,” under the penalty of economic sanctions.
If you'll remember, in March, a group of far-leftist folks from the U.S. and Europe — including members of Code Pink, commie activist Hasan Piker, and Ilhan Omar's daughter — flew into the crumblingly communist country and stayed in five-star hotels, enjoyed fancy meals, held concerts, and recorded podcasts, all while the Cuban people starve and live without electricity or water much of the time. They took photos with "president" Miguel Díaz-Canel and came back declaring that all was well on the island.This crew spent some of their time riding around the city and viewing the Cubans as if they were on some sort of poverty safari, and Piker said the people just had an "island mindset" and that's why they just hung around in the streets all day. They came back reporting that things were just groovy down there and would be even better if Trump and Rubio would stop bullying them.
Well, independent journalist Nick Shirley recently visited Cuba and attempted to do the same thing... but he wanted to tell the real story of what's happening after decades of failed and corrupt communist rule. As you can imagine, he didn't get quite the welcome the others did. Not only that, but according to him, his equipment was seized, "spies" followed him around, and he barely escaped without being "kidnapped."
It is my fervent hope and prayer that Nick Shirley is not a one-off and that there are growing numbers of millennials and the younger generations that while not perhaps as open and brave as to put themselves in direct danger at least will become the next literal "Silent Majority" that will reject the insanity of Democrat/Leftism and once again secure America's future as the shining city on a hill.
On that unusually positive note for me . . .
Have a good day!

Democrats Just Can't Stop Tributing Nazis and Then Lying About It
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Late last week, Mark Halperin reported that NRSC official told him that the dirt they're about to drop on the Nazi -- I guess being a Nazi isn't disqualifying in the "anti-Nazi party" -- that "he'll have to leave the state."
Now that is an exaggeration.
But radio host and former Breitbart editor Larry O'Connor said he'd heard that too -- well, he said he did more than hear it.
Larry said: "This is a bad man... I'm sorry, I hate to put it [in these terms,] but I have learned, and I haven't just heard, I know things about this person that will come out, the GOP is not joking about this, and frankly it goes beyond the Nazi tattoo."
Now I generally trust Larry O'Connor but I didn't mention it because I hate getting too far ahead of the news. But his statement that he hasn't just "heard," but knows for a fact makes me think this won't just be another round of campaign-scuttlebutt that turns out to be vapornews.
Meanwhile, a major Democrat donor is threatening a lawsuit against the Free Beacon because they "invaded her privacy" by reporting that she had freely admitted on a public post on social media that her grandfather had been a soldier in Hitler's army.
She's claiming that doesn't make him a Nazi. Um... I guess?
But she says he did escape to Brazil before the end of the war which, I don't know, I always kind of assumed was something that major Nazi figures did, and not just everyday soldiers in the Wehrmacht.
Kelly Neumann, a Michigan trial attorney and Democratic fundraiser, has threatened the Washington Free Beacon with "legal action" unless we retract our story about her Veterans Day Facebook post honoring her grandfather who served "on the German side" in World War II.
What an anodyne way to put it. He fought bravely in World War Two. But, you know, not for the army you might think.
And she did this on... Veterans Day. American Veterans Day. On American Veterans Day, she decided to tribute a man who killed Americans.
What a very weird Aryan flex on Veterans Day.
..."Happy Veterans Day to all my family and friends who serve/served!" Neumann's post read. "Interesting story, I do not talk much about but my Grandfather, Albert Neumann was on the German side in WWI & WWII. He escaped to Brazil with my father after Germany lost..."
Very interesting story, brah.
The post included several photos of the Nazi soldier in his Wehrmacht uniform. Neumann recalled that her grandfather was one of the first people to accept her as gay, which proved that "people can change and love can indeed win."
Well as long as your Nazi Army opa who fled to Brazil after the war was okay with you being a lesbian, everything's cool. There were Very Fine People on both sides, would you say...?
This isn't such a big deal, I guess. But what makes it creepy is that this woman, who obviously did not fall far from the fascist tree, is now threatening the Free Beacon unless they retract their 100% true story which merely quotes what she herself admitted.
Last week, the Free Beacon received a letter from Neumann's attorney demanding a "formal retraction" of the "false and defamatory" statement in the article. The letter was signed by Eugenie B. Eardley, another Michigan trial attorney who describes herself as the "First Lady of Law." She even has her own catch phrase--"seriously serious about the law"--which is ironic given the profound unseriousness of the threatening letter she wrote on Neumann's behalf.
For example, Eardley suggested the Free Beacon had not merely defamed her client, but may have also invaded her privacy by reporting on a post she made on the public Facebook account where she routinely shares photos of herself cavorting with Democratic politicians. That's because Neumann made the post "in her private capacity as a granddaughter," which sounds like nonsense.
It is nonsense. A public utterance is a public utterance. You cannot transmute it into private, confidential information by later claiming "I only said that publicly in my capacity as a private citizen who loves her Wehrmacht opa."
Her lawyer said that the Free Beacon falsely claimed he was a member of the S.S., which they said they never did. They also say they never identified him as a Nazi, but... I mean... he did flee to Brazil. I assume it wasn't just because he likes the lambada (the forbidden dance).
Democrats like the "I'm not an X I'm just a Y" defense. "I'm not a socialist I'm just a liberal" which is now "I'm not a communist I'm just a socialist."
And now: "He's not SS he was just a soldier in Hitler's army who fled to Brazil after the war."

Charlie Kirk's Head of Security Sues Cavernous Nostrils for Defamation After She Repeatedly Insinuates He Was Part of a French/Israeli/Egyptian/US Plot to Kill "Her Best Friend"
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Can't wait until Erik Kirk drops her own massive, billion-dollar lawsuit on Gal Sharpton's head.
The former head of security for Charlie Kirk sued podcaster Candace Owens on Thursday for defamation, claiming that she falsely implicated him in a conspiracy to assassinate Kirk.The former security chief, Brian Harpole, alleged that Owens, a right-wing firebrand, inaccurately accused him of meeting with Kirk's wife, Erika, at a military base a day before Charlie Kirk was shot at Utah Valley University in September. He is also suing Mitch Snow, a retired Army sergeant who stated on Owens' podcast that he was an eyewitness to what he described as the secret encounter.
In the 69-page lawsuit, Harpole, who owns a private security firm and worked for Kirk for several years, accused Owens of "engaging in a coordinated and deliberate campaign designed to defame" him.
He denied any involvement in any plot to assassinate Kirk and called Owens a "conspiracy theorist" who displayed a "pattern of seeking public attention and media exposure."
No lies detected.
...A spokesperson for Owens said she had no comment beyond what she said on her podcast. Snow did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
...
In July, Owens was sued for defamation by Brigitte Macron, the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, for claiming she is transgender....
Last month, Trump got involved, posting on Truth Social that Owens is an "extremely Low IQ individual" and sharing a doctored image that referred to Owens as "vile person of the year." He also called Owens' claims about Brigitte Macron "despicable." Two members of Congress this week introduced a bipartisan House resolution condemning Owens, as well a left-wing livestreamer, for "antisemitic hate-filled rhetoric."

BREAKING: Brian Harpole -- Charlie Kirk's chief of security -- has filed a defamation lawsuit against Candace Owens and her source Mitchell Snow.Owens publicly accused Harpole of conspiring with the U.S. military at Fort Huachuca to assassinate Charlie Kirk, alongside Erika Kirk, Rep. Mark Amodei, and Cabot Phillips.
Her own words promoting the story:
"Charlie Kirk was assassinated and our military was involved. I can't wait to share this information with you guys."
The story rested entirely on Mitchell Snow, who claimed he "inadvertently" walked into a top-secret meeting at the Army base on September 9, 2025 -- the day before the assassination -- where Harpole and twelve lieutenant colonels were allegedly finalizing the plot to assassinate Charlie Kirk.
Per the complaint, the claim is verifiably false:
→ Harpole was in Dallas that morning.
→ He has never been to Fort Huachuca.
→ Owens had his flight records -- she admitted as much on X -- yet kept publishing anyway.From the complaint: "Without even a modicum of substantiated evidence, she has publicly accused Harpole of foreknowledge, participation in, and cover-up of the assassination of Charlie Kirk."
69 pages. Jury trial demanded. Seeking millions of dollars. Filed today in Tennessee.
The fact that Cavernous Nostrils knew that Harpole wasn't anywhere near Fort Huachuca the day the French/Israeli/Egyptian/US Military assassination-plotters were meeting will satisfy the absurd rule in defamation that you can only be sued for defaming a public figure if you acted with "reckless indifference" as to whether your defmation was true or false.
Dana Loesch reminded me the other day that Gal Sharpton's first attention-getting media play was... doxxing GamerGate conservatives.
Cavernous Nostrils has since advanced a new conspiracy theory: All of the defamation lawsuits against her are not caused by her rapid-fire Tourettes-like machine-gun defamation of everyone in the world, but by... Perfidious Jew Ben Shapiro.

Candace is having a Britney Spears moment.
Let me explain what she just said:
1. Candace slanders Erika Kirk and accuses her of murdering her husband.
2. Candace implies that Charlie's head of security actually wanted him to be assassinated ... and intentionally orchestrated his murder.
3. Laura Loomer got annoyed with Candace attacking innocent people and decided to hit back by exposing some dirt from Candace's history--her husband's DUI and firearm charge.
4. And now Candace, instead of taking any responsibility whatsoever, has decided that the REAL CULPRIT behind everything is actually ....... Ben Shapiro ...... because he is a Jew.
Makes complete sense.
Nothing delusional at all about this.

US CIS Adopts New Aggressive Posture in Rooting Out Immigration Fraud and Denaturalizing Fraudsters: "USCIS Is Declaring an All-Out War on Immigration Fraud"
—Disinformation Expert Ace
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has created a special team of criminal investigators to root out immigration fraud, equipping newly designated special agents with expanded law enforcement powers to investigate, arrest and prosecute violators and even denaturalize cheaters."We're going to get to a place where people are going to know that if they file, and they're going to file something fraudulently, or they're not giving us their full story, we're going to find that," United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Joseph Edlow told Just The News.
...
Edlow announced the initiative in September under a final rule that allows the agency to hire and train 1811-classified officers who can carry firearms, execute warrants and handle cases from start to finish without always referring them to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
...In one early test of the heightened scrutiny, USCIS's Operation Twin Shield in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area uncovered suspected fraud in 275 of more than 1,000 cases reviewed during a 10-day surge of site visits and interviews. Edlow declared the operation part of a broader crackdown. "USCIS is declaring an all-out war on immigration fraud," he said. "We will relentlessly pursue everyone involved in undermining the integrity of our immigration system and laws."
...
Individuals found to have committed immigration fraud, particularly in procuring naturalization through concealment of material facts, willful misrepresentation or illegal means, face potential denaturalization and subsequent deportation, according to U.S. law and ongoing enforcement actions.
..
Recent examples include filings against naturalized citizens involved in tax fraud schemes, identity concealment to evade prior deportation orders and naturalization fraud via fake divorce decrees.
Meanwhile, fully invaded-and-occupied Sweden shuts the open borders door twenty years too late:

🇸🇪 Sweden has just approved that to obtain citizenship, the following must be required:
- 8 years of residence
- Stable income
- NOT having received social benefits
- Swedish language exam
- Exam on Swedish values and societyIf you don't speak the language or don't demonstrate that you understand how Sweden works → they won't give you citizenship.
Will this be the end of progressive Sweden?
Self-Proclaimed "Snapchat King" Eric Swalwell Sent Videos of Himself Masturbating to More Women, and Is Also Now Using Snapchat to Attack Women for Talking About His Masturbation Videos
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Former Democratic congressman Eric Swalwell was accused by multiple women of sending sexual messages, including "videos of him masturbating," after becoming one of the first members of Congress to join Snapchat in an effort to restore "faith" in "democracy."In a bombshell report on Sunday -- less than a month after Swalwell resigned from Congress after being accused of rape and sexual assault by multiple women -- CNN spoke to "more than a dozen" women who claimed the congressman had made them feel uncomfortable, both in person and online, over the past decade.
Several women told CNN that the congressman had sent them sexually explicit messages on Snapchat after he became "one of the first lawmakers to join Snapchat" and was heralded in the media as "the Snapchat king of Congress," according to CNN.
"We can restore a lot of faith that people have in their democracy by opening it up a little bit more," Swalwell told The Hill in 2016 after joining the messaging service. "Snapchat is a great way to do that."
Snapchat is a messaging app whose chief selling point is that messages and photos disappear after being viewed or after a period of time (if unviewed). It is purpose-built for adultery and dicpics.
However, it allegedly wasn't long before the congressman began to use his Snapchat account for purposes other than politics.One young woman claimed Swalwell would send her Snapchat messages about her future, before asking inappropriate questions such as, "What are you wearing?"
Two other women told CNN that Swalwell sent them "sexually explicit messages and unsolicited nude photos and videos of himself" in 2021, while a third woman also claimed to have received "sexually tinged messages and videos."
...
During the relationship, Swalwell reportedly sent "nude photos of himself and videos of him masturbating," which showed the congressman's "face and naked body."
The videos, which were saved by the woman, were shown to CNN.
"His stories would be his, like, congressional content, but then he would be sending me dick pics," she alleged, adding that Swalwell sent her another "explicit video" late last year, just weeks before he announced his 2026 California gubernatorial campaign.
In another alleged case, Swalwell reportedly wrote a letter of recommendation for a woman he had never met after sending her flirty Snapchat messages about her "sexy pajamas."
And he's still doing it. Even as he's being investigated (supposedly) in California and New York for rape, he's still sending out Snapchat messages to his victims.
Another young woman who connected online with Swalwell about a policy issue said he repeatedly sent her suggestive messages, offered to fly her to DC, and even wrote her a letter of recommendation despite never meeting in person."He would Snapchat me. He'd be like, 'What do you want to do with your future?'" she recalled. "And then he'd be like, 'What are you wearing right now?'"
More than a dozen women who spoke with CNN described interactions with Swalwell that made them uncomfortable over the last decade, from social media messages to in-person encounters to alleged attempts by the congressman to lure them to his hotel room. Some asked not to be named out of fear of retaliation.
...
Similarly, Swalwell met Amanda Koski, a former Hill staffer and political operative, when she served him and his family while waitressing at a DC pizza restaurant. He asked for her phone number and later started messaging her about her involvement in politics, she told CNN...
The night after CNN spoke with Azari about the women's claims, Swalwell sent Koski a Snapchat message at 1:57 a.m. Eastern -- asking why she had screenshotted his chats and including screencaps of texts between the two of them.
"Given the accusations against him, attempting to gaslight or intimidate a woman on Snapchat at 2:00 a.m. isn't overly becoming of a person who has 'done no wrong,'" Koski told CNN.
Why are you saying I sexually harassed you when I sent you pictures of my dick? I wasn't harassing you. I just wanted your medical opinion about whether the mole on the tip of my penis looks cancerous or sexy. I thought it looked like a helmeted Cindy Crawford but I was a little worried about the uneven edges.
